If we finished 10th i wouldn't do that trade. If we are that low we need a rebuild and rich does not give us that. I don't think i would give a pick above ten for Rich i think he's a bit overrated and doesn't really provide a solution to any problem wce has in the midfield.
Worth pick 10-15
Probably not the thread to discuss it but I think suggesting we'd need a rebuild if we missed the finals is a bit of a stretch. Good teams have bad years often, we have a young enough nucleus for us to be able to push through, IMO.
Rich would add to said nucleus, including players under 25 such as Naitanui, Darling, Shuey, Gaff, Selwood, Masten, Wellingham, Sheppard, Newman etc. He's exactly the right age in terms of players we should be targeting. He's not a top up player. Also I think he'd add alot to our midfield, a penetrating left boot is always handy.
I think you have a point about Rich being slightly overrated but at the same time, I think he'd require an offer similar to the one I suggested above. Sometimes you have to pay overs to improve your squad.
